Paleo Week Three

This week was a little more difficult- I had cravings for chocolate and carbs!!! I was hungry this week and ate too much- didn't loose or gain anything this week. I'm finding that I do ok without dairy, but really miss carbs. So this week, I decided to experiment with baking.

Blueberry Muffins

From The Gluten Free Home Maker- found on Pinterest

1 cup coconut flour

3/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking soda

6 large eggs

1/2 cup melted coconut oil

1/2 cup honey

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup fresh or thawed frozen blueberries

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 12 cup muffin tin

2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, salt, and baking soda

3. In a smaller bowl, beat together with a fork the eggs, coconut oil, honey, and vanilla

4. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix with a hand mixer on medium speed for about one minute or until well combined.

5. Stir in the blueberries

6. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups. Bake for 20-25 minutes

7. Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack or plate to cool completely.

Makes 12 muffins

Approximately 64 total WW points- 5 WW points per muffin.

These were very easy to make and I will definitely make them again! The batter was thicker than I had thought, but they turned out great! The blueberry muffins were moist and delicious :)

Subway Chopped Salad

I was also getting tired of my packed lunches and decided to go out to lunch on Friday. I went to Subway and tried the Ham and Turkey Chopped Salad- it was so good! I loaded it up with veggies and just got a little oil/vinegar and salt and pepper on top. Yum Yum.
